Christian hypocrisy

[expat]

Is this really true?

Atheists wanted to to run an ad campaign on buses, reading

There's no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

But Christians complained and got the ASA to force them to read

There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

Now the Christians are running an ad campaign reading

There definitely is a God. So join The Christian Party and enjoy your life.

By god these Christians have some nerve!

God dammit

[ratewhore]

Stop worrying and enjoy your life.

[dang65]

Ha! Atheists are such suckers. pwned.

I thought it very funny. I have a good mind to make it my signature.

[FSM with Cheddar]

Stop worrying and enjoy your life.

Stop telling me to "Stop worrying and enjoy you life", and enjoy your life

Well now the atheists can complain and get it changed as well.

I'm a Christian but I think the "there's probably no God..." advert is quite neat from a marketing view. Removing 'probably' changes it to something much more aggressive... by the same logic it's only fair 'definitely' should be moderated.

However, the atheist adverts are going to affect anyone who believes in God at all... which is STILL the majority of people even in the UK (I think), however vague and unformed their thoughts are. Proper atheists are a fairly small minority.

Really, a war of posters is a bit risky for all concerned. Can easily end up seeming childish... on the other hand it might make people decide to actually do research and make a strong decision one way or t'other.

Yes, that bandwagon will be passing through CUK shortly. Sure there's space to jump on

I find christians far more aggressive in their beliefs than atheists.

Proper atheists are a fairly small minority.

I would suggest that 'proper' christians are a smaller minority

My point of course is not whether either slogan is better with "probably", "definitely", or neither; but how come sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander.
